Fantasy Tip: Miller had three catches for 61 yards prior to the injury. Suffice to say this is bad for the Bears, who were already without Alshon Jeffery in this contest. Look for Logan Paulsen to get touches at TE, but he would be a significant fantasy downgrade. You're best to scour the waiver wire.

Fantasy Tip: Miller developed quite the rapport with backup Brian Hoyer, and perhaps Jay Cutler was watching during his absence due to injury. He found Miller early and often, and he has re-emerged as a low-end TE1 in most fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams.

Fantasy Tip: If Miller is active then he's a fringe TE1 against a Packers defense that has been subpar against tight ends so far this year. Plus, Miller has been targeted 18 times over his last two games and has scored three times in his last four games. That's the Brian Hoyer effect.

Fantasy Tip: Keep tabs on Miller's status leading up to Thursday night's contest with the Green Bay Packers. If he does play then he is a borderline TE1. The Packers have been weak versus tight end this year and Miller has played well with Brian Hoyer.

Fantasy Tip: Miller has been targeted 18 times the last two weeks, but he has only delivered 13 catches for 109 yards in those two games. Brian Hoyer clearly trusts him, though, and Miller is a fringe TE1 in a more favorable matchup with the Green Bay Packers.

Fantasy Tip: Miller has shown good chemistry with Brian Hoyer and should continue to receive targets in the passing game. Owners should consider Miller as a low-end No. 1 tight end against most opponents.
